Oil on board, signed lower right. Titled and signed on reverse. Appears to be a view of the mountain from across the Thorndike Pond in Jaffrey. 4 3/4” x 6 5/8”, frame size 8 1/8” x 10”. Provenance: From the Estate of Priscilla and David Hurlin, Antrim/Jaffrey, NH Ahl was a New England painter well known for portraits, murals and landscape paintings, heavily influenced by the painters of the Barbizon school. He rose to early prominence painting murals in churches around Boston and Providence, until 1915 when he was injured after falling from a scaffold. He studied in Munich with Alexander Wagner and Franz Von Stuck, and in Paris at Ecole des Beaux Arts. After living around Europe and between NYC and Washington DC, Ahl and his wife, the artist Eleanor Isabella Curtis, settled in a 20 room mansion in Newbury, just north of Boston.
